Feedback:
Build stability
PRs for security vulnerabilities remain a trouble due to lack of QA automations.
-
This means some open PRs are failuring QA tests and need to be rebased
-
I think we need to manually merge these, or just not use that private repository feature?
So until further notice, use public PRs, or manually merge by hand.
MS SQL is Failing / Auto-canceling as well
-
failing to setup docker image also?
-
changed docker image and automation we rely on is not there
(directory changed)
See PRs for examples:
This seems to have started happening in the last week or so.
FOSS4G & FOSS4GNA
foss4gna: Andrea and turingtestfail are attending 
-
Andrea is going: couple of workshops: ogcapi and vector tiles, and some presentations
-
Number of PRs around vector tiles ahead of the workshop (see GWC PRs), and lots of fun ideas (use transform to cut down labels and apply functions).
-
this is painful, some ideas on how to make it easier
-
using layer group, and pregeneralize, and so on …
-
having pregeneralize use zoom tools
-
It would be nice to do a BOF and promote supporting the project etc…
foss4g:
-
Jody and Gabe can do “State of GeoServer”
-
Jody can submit some workshops etc…
-
Jody will also be doing some OSGeo talks etc…
-
Gabe will do a talk on GeoServer Cloud
PRs
GeoServer
-
so good to see this, needs to be rebased to address build stability…
-
workin, but not on windows
-
needs the “opens” to work on windows…
-
need someone (Peter) with access to a windows machine, and ability to edit + test batch file + it may be just adjusting quotes?
-
[GEOS-11379] Refactor inline JavaScript in the OGC API modules
-
Needs manual testing please! A/B testing - just to see all the same functionality exists on the page (does not need to be pretty just not missing stuff)
-
This is open since may, any update Gabe?
-
After rebase I cannot break it anymore…
-
Ready for review
Get it in now (in August) ahead of the release cycle… -
Test with the tools to generate duplicate workspaces again…
-
Or use Chat GPT to write a python REST API script
-
This is now just a simple update, can we merge?
-
Additive change only, includes docs, …
-
Backport or not? Not …
-
This has a minor breaking change due to change of yaml library
-
… a mandatory space is required between key and value
-
This is in the update instructions for geoserver
-
The rest of the codebase should be fine, ysld uses snakeyaml and is not affected
-
jody to review, squash and merge
-
Pinning MSSQL 2022 tag to avoid changes in tools directories.
-
